Start the New Year with New Chapters and New Conversations with Let's Talk About It!
(Oklahoma City—December 12, 2024) – The new year will usher in a new season of Let’s Talk About It, a dynamic book club and program of Oklahoma Humanities (OH) that has connected curious readers across the state since 1985. Free and open to all, the large number of programs offered this year ensures that many Oklahomans are close to a program site.
From January through June, twenty-five public sites will be hosting Let's Talk About It at a location near you, including: Ada, Ardmore, Cherokee, Claremore, Duncan, Elgin, Enid, Grove, Guthrie, Hulbert, Jay, Lawton, Locust Grove, Miami, Oklahoma City, Pauls Valley, Ponca City, Stillwater, Woodward, and Yukon. OH is excited to welcome the Tahlequah Public Library, Ronald J. Norick Downtown Library in Oklahoma City, and Quapaw Tribal Library to the LTAIcommunity as they host their first-ever programs. In addition, nine correctional centers in Atoka, Boley, Hodgen, Holdenville, Lexington, McAlester, McLoud, and Taft will host the program.
Readers will explore diverse themes that span centuries and subjects, including: “Native American Identity from Past to Present,” “Myth and Literature,” “The Worst Hard Time Revisited: Oklahoma in the Dust Bowl Years,” and “Working to Survive: Surviving to Work.” Featured authors include F. Scott Fitzgerald, Joseph Campbell, Upton Sinclair, Herman Melville, Tommy Orange, Louise Erdrich, and many more.
